When to Send a Japanese Woman a “Happy Birthday” Message on Social Media

4. During her lunch break.


“I normally check my messages during my lunch break, so it was perfect timing,” explains one Japanese woman in her 20s. If you know her schedule, you can try to catch her during her break and she may even have time to respond to you right away. However, if she has a birthday lunch planned with her co-workers, she may be too occupied to check her phone. Either way, don’t expect too much out of her limited lunch break.
